THREATENED BY GOOD?

THREATENED BY GOOD?


Are you one of
Those people=who are
THREATENED by Good?


Threatened by good things-
Around you=threatened by
GOOD PEOPLE?


In today's reading=we read
About “wicked people” being
Threatened by good or
Righteous people


“To us he is the CENSURE
Of our thoughts=
Merely to see him


Is a hardship
For us........” Wisdom 2:14


I think sometimes
When we are bad people=
Or making bad choices


When we are in the wrong
When we have some SENSE
That we are doing so


We become THREATENED
By the mere presence
Of those who are
DOING AUTHENTIC GOOD


There is an old saying=
“IF you can't beat them-
JOIN THEM”


So if we are NOT doing good-
This is the PERFECT OPPORTUNITY
For us to JOIN those
Who are doing GOOD


Get in the right
DO the right thing
JOIN them=join the group


“I cried like
A swift or thrush-
I moaned
Like a mourning dove


My eyes grew weak
As I looked
To the heavens


I am BEING THREATENED=Lord=
Come to my AID!” Isaiah 38:14


The person doing GOOD
Doesn't have
To criticize us


The mere fact
That they are doing good
Doing the RIGHT THING--------


Whatever that is
Feels like an INDICTMENT
To us


So if we aren't doing right
Let us BEGIN to do right
Let us begin to do GOOD


Let us JOIN those doing right and
Those doing good


“In those days
The people of Judah
Will JOIN the people
Of Israel


And together they will come
From a northern land
To the land
I gave your ancestors
As an inheritance” Jeremiah 3:18


“JOIN with me
In suffering
Like a good soldier
Of Jesus Christ” 2 Timothy 2:3


Dear Lord=help us
To NOT BE THREATENED
By right=by those doing good things


Hep us to JOIN the
Good and righteous
Of this world


And BECOME a 21^st century apostle=
And do RIGHT in today's world


And help us to UNDERSTAND-
If we become ANNOYED
By a person doing good


Or annoyed by a truly good person


It is only our OWN JUDGMENTS
That we feel


In Jesus' name =and in the name=of our TRULY GOOD=truly loving FATHER
